The life of faith in three parts, the first is a sermon on Heb.…

As sure as you live, and see one another, God always seeth you: He seeth your secret filthiness, and deceit, and malice, which you think ⟨p. 28⟩is hid; he seeth you in the dark: the locking of your doors, the d•a•ing of your curtains, the setting of the Sun, or the putting out of the Candle, doth hide nothing from him that is Omniscient, Psal. 94.8, 9. [ Understand oh ye brutish among the people! and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall be not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?] The lust and filthiness, and covetousness, and envy, and vanity of your very thoughts are as open to his view as the Sun at noon. And therefore you may well suppose him present that cannot be absent; and you may suppose you saw him that still seeth you, and whom you must see. Oh what a change, a glimpse of the glory of his Majesty, would make in this Assembly! Oh what amazements, what passionate workings of soul would it excite! Were it but an Angel that did thus appear to you, what manner of hearers would you be? how serious? how affectionate? how sensible? And yet are you Believers, and have none of this? when faith makes unseen things to be as seen? If thou have faith indeed, thou seest him that is invisible: thou speakest to him: thou hearest him in his Word: thou seest him in his Works: thou walkest with him: he is the life of thy comforts, thy converse and thy life.

As sure as you live, and see one another, God alwaies seeth you: He seeth your secret filthiness, and deceit, and malice, which you think ⟨p. 28⟩is hid; he seeth you in the dark: the locking of your doors, the d•a•ing of your curtains, the setting of the Sun, or the putting out of the Candle, doth hide nothing from him that is Omniscient, Psal. 94.8, 9. [ Ʋnderstand oh ye brutish among the people! and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall be not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?] The lust and filthiness, and covetousness, and envy, and vanity of your very thoughts are as open to his view as the Sun at noon. And therefore you may well suppose him present that cannot be absent; and you may suppose you saw him that still seeth you, and whom you must see. Oh what a change, a glympse of the glory of his Majesty, would make in this Assembly! Oh what amazements, what passionate workings of soul would it excite! Were it but an Angel that did thus appear to you, what manner of hearers would you be? how serious? how affectionate? how sensible? And yet are you Believers, and have none of this? when faith makes unseen things to be as seen?
